ipramstxt
This program is used to add FipHdr fields matched against a key field in a
RamsTxt file. The original header and text are left untouched.
Keywords for RamsTxt parameter file are :
; comment line7
extra-fiphdr: more fixed Fip Hdr fields to add to the file (before any new
matched additions)
send-headers-without-data:no/yes
source:IDN
end-of-line:<fipBR>\n
Change the end of line
balance-group: (group name)
This puts a copy of each file in 2balance. default: none
ignore-drops:no/yes
Do not forwards drop messages default: no
redun-sys:(host1),(host2)
This adds an 'SZ' source redundancy to the incoming file
and leaves a copy in spool/2net default: no
track-xt-type: default: no
This adds <FipTextType-TW:X> or TW:T markers in the text
send-data-only:
Send data files only, not the headline-only files as well.
convert-data:yes/no default: no
Convert data and Headline to either ISO or UTF8 depending on the original
data
The FipHdr field T6 is set to 'ISO8859' for ISO-8859-1 or 'UTF8' for UTF-8
ignore-deletes:(yes/no) deletes are normally passed thru
ignore-pnac: (pnac) default: none
Ignore all segments or bd recods for this PNAC
There can be 100 ignores...
Where sections of FipHdr fields are required or changes to the output style,
use keywords : fixed, partial, combie, optional, repeat, newdate and/or style.
(see The SysAdmin manual for more information).
They are normally specified :
fixed:QZ 1234543
partial:QT ST,3,2,U,<,>
combie:QY ep|na,(0000000)a
option:QE ep,11,7,s
repeat:QK XK,-,3
or repeat:QP PK,,4,#X
style:QS XN,%.03d
Input Parameters are :

-C : Log interval default: 600 (for 10 mins)
set to zero for no logging
-l : log totals of files every 10 mins default: do not log
-L : log files in default: do not log
